Weird Habits You Pick Up In College

The college transition is one we prepare our whole lives for. Once we're all moved in we realize how different everything is, but after a while, we're so used to it we don't even realize the habits we've changed.

1. Get used to wearing shower shoes

Showering at home and having to shower in you dorm are two very different things.

2. Sharing clothes with your roommates.

At home you had nothing to wear, you'd dig something out of the end of your closet. In college, you find nothing in your closet? Ask your roommate to go through hers.

3. The necessity to order pizza after every night out.

Depending on where you're from, I'm sure you and your friends used to go on Wendy's/McDonalds drives. Now when you come back you plop yourself on your beds, take your clothes off and wait for your pizza to arrive.

4. If there's Google there's a way, If there's a Quizlet there's an A.

This is something I say to my friends all the time when they complain about Blackboard assignments. Quizlet is a gift to us. Last minute quizzes suck, especially when you haven't done the ready yet and its due at Midnight.

5. Eating the same thing in the dining hall because when you try to switch it up, you just get more disappointed.

Ever in the "anything but cafe food" mood but your stuck w cafe food? Because I know that's always me.

6. Did you have a nap today?

Taking naps (yes plural) throughout the day. Come back from class and if you have time you nap. Oh, you're done with homework? Nap. Don't wanna do homework? Nap. To be honest, just nap it out.

7. Thinking if you use your credit card you're not spending.

Not knowing where all your money went is something we can all relate to especially because online spending becomes the No. 1 way to go. This habit hurts a little more than others.

8. Either you're always in your room or you're never there.

You either become cooped up in your dorm or you avoid being locked in there.

9. Procrastinating...then CRAMMING.

Procrastinating all work for later then realizing you have a too much to do and having to cram it all in one night.

10. Doing things solely to get free things

Free food?? Catch me there. Events with free shirts? Stickers? Accessories, you name it I'll be there. Just let me know where!

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
